The Kingdom of the Heart by Adverse Camber productions

Festival: 2016

Event type:

An adventurous fisherman discovers a pathway into a gleaming, golden land – a land which offers escape from the everyday and all its cares. But all is not as it seems. The land has its own enchantment. A cursed king is trapped by legs of stone and a queen is bewitched by a mysterious serpent prince. Can they all find a way back to their true selves? What would you sacrifice, to return to the place and people you love?

Two European folk tales exploring themes of choice, loss and the power of redemption are woven together with atmospheric storytelling and music to create an unforgettable journey through the Kingdom of the Heart.

The Kingdom of the Heartis presented by Adverse Camber, one of the UK’s most celebrated storytelling companies and draws freely on two European folk tales and the music of Bach, Britten and Barchet. It is created and performed by storyteller Katy Cawkwell and cellist Sarah Llewellyn-Jones.
